[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went with nanny because for us it is more naturalistic - in their own home, on their own schedule etc. they can have busy days and quiet days. Also no commute, less stress and a lot more down time for the kids. It is easy to include lots of socializing and group activities into their day with a nanny but you can't include down time, quiet days, flexible activities and no commute with daycare.

The flexibility for parents is also better with a nanny and we don't have to do drop offs or pick ups and spend more time in the car or on the roads.

Let me give some more information to see if it alters your thoughts -- because I am coming at this from the same place as you -- we live two blocks from the center, they would be there 4 days a week from 9:30-6, so no commute involved -- we would drop them on the way to the metro -- and the 2.5 year old is pretty crazy and gets frustrated just being at home; the baby is a baby. We have been doing preschool and love it, but its $3000/semester, so that plus nanny would be tight. We would probably switch to a preschool with after care when he is 4. Does this change your recommendation?[/quote]
